Wikipedia

  1. regretting

    Regret is the emotion of wishing one had made a different decision in the past, because the consequences of the decision one did make were unfavorable. Regret is related to perceived opportunity. Its intensity varies over time after the decision, in regard to action versus inaction, and in regard to self-control at a particular age. The self-recrimination which comes with regret is thought to spur corrective action and adaptation. In Western societies adults have the highest regrets regarding choices of their education.

Examples of regretting in a Sentence

  1. Lord Borwick of Hawkshead:

    I was sickened by the Biden quote that we could carry on in Afghanistan alone if we wanted, as I remember, we have always been aware of the problems in Afghanistan, and we spent many years there in Queen Victoria’s reign, regretting our exploits. But we were persuaded by our American friends to join them, to give world-wide authenticity (and US domestic authenticity) to an invasion by America. That was followed by an expensive period of ‘nation building,’ when the truth is that we cannot build someone else’s nation. It’s been hard enough building our own.
